CHASE TO ATKINS.

We have never been fogged for
disloyalty. We never chuckled with
glee at the distress of our coun-
try. We never pushed back when
Uncle Sam cried out in agony for
help to keep the old flag afoat in the
breeze. No true democrat ever did.
But Hiram Atkins did. He never
saw a day when he could raise his
unworthy head out of the filth of viz
ulent, partisan prejudice into the
pure sunlight of patriotism, no more
than a backed toad could take
wings and rise from the cesspool into
the pure atmosphere above. We
have said that this man is an incubus
and nightmare upon the democratic
party of Vermont. The remark is
true enough to be stereotyped in big
letters, and to be painted over the
entrance of every democratic head
quarters in the state. He is a stencil
in the nostrils Of a patriotic democra-
cy, and a wrenching gag upon the
political public generally. Where
is there a true democrat in the state
who would not blush and hide his
head in shame at the mere thought
that this man might possibly be re-
ceived abroad as a true representa-
ton of the true inwardness of Yer
mont democracy? He can't be found.
Haven't we repeatedly discussed his
political methods in our own camp.
trying in vain to find some excuse
for his noisy, impudent and destruc-
tive methods A.; haven't we repeatedly
and vainly tried to comfort one
another with the hope that the dis
grace and killing influence might
sometime be removed from the dem
ocratic party; haven't we. in the
camp of the enemy, repeatedly been
compelled to throw back the charge
that Hiram Atkins, in any true sense,
represents the patriotism of a Yer
mont democratic: We have. And
excusing, explaining, and throwing
back charges of this nature, has con-

DEATH "OLD PROPS. =

Gen. ". B. Hazen, popularity
known as .-Old Probs." died sudden
ly in Washington Sunday. He had
been chief signal officer since 1880.
He was a native of West Hartford
Vt. where he was born in 1880. He
graduated from West Point and serv-
ed in the war with marked distinction.
In May, 1862, he was appointed Brig
aides General. His brigade was hot
" engaged i'll the battle of Stone Riv-
er Ind rendered valuable service. In
September. 1868. he fought CALAMITY
in the battle Of Chickmauga. and his
brigade was the last organized COM
mand to leave the field. In October.
1863. at night. with 1900 picked men
in % boats. he fioated down the Ten
nessee river past Lookout Mountain
along seven miles Of the Confederate
picket line and seized a position which
opened communication with Chicka-
manga and decided the fate of Chat
tanooga. In the battle Of Mission
Ridge his brigade was among the first
to reach the crest. where it captured
eighteen pieces of artillery and many
prisoners. in August. 1864. he was
transferred to the Army Of the Ten
nessee and placed in command Of the
Second Division of the Fifteenth
Corps. His division took part in the
Georgia campaign. In December,

fore Savannah, Gen. Hazen's division

CORRUPTION.

Perhaps there is no sign of the
times so indicative of national degen-
Grafton as the corrupt methods which
have found their way into the politi-
cal and business life of the country.
Bribery at the polls. i'll legislation, in
municipal administration. and even
in courts of law, deface the former
grasping monOpolies. combinations to
create artificial prices for almost every
article in general demand, and the
connivance of railway directors with
the unjust schemes of monOpOlists,
are among the evils which curse the
latter. Hence honesty and honor.
which are so inseparable from high
national character. are in danger of
being trampled in the dust. Men are
learning to value ill-gotten wealth
more highly than honorable poverty,
and to prefer success to the esteem
of good men. If these vices of dis
honesty and meanness were spreading
among the ungodly only, our national
outlook would be bad enough; but it
is to be feared that not few men
protesting faith in Christ are sue
cumbing to their destinations. This
being SO, it becomes the pulpit to in
sist more loudly than ever that no
man who stains his hands with the
gains of dishonesty or adorns his brow
with garlands purchased with the
wages of dishonor, can have any part
in the kingdom of God. He may call
himself by the name Of Christ, but
Christ will not recognize him as his
disciple.-Zion' Herald.

No More Pistols for Him.
Philadelphia Times.

There is moral for the men who
cannot sleep unless they have pre-
viously made a small arsenal out of
their garments or sleeping rooms, in
the experience of young citizen of
Buffalo, related by himself. Like a
good many other young men, he i'm
agined his life of much more import
ance than it is, and consequently fam
cied that any number of people were
waiting for good opportunity to kill
him, for no particular reason so far as
known. In consequence he carried a
revolver in his pocket by day, and
carefully placed the same weapon be-
meath his pillow at night. A slight
noise awOke him the other night, and
on peering into the darkness he saw a
figure moving slowly across the floor.
To grasp his revolver and cock it was
the work of second or two, and to
cover the figure with the weapon was
an equally ready task. "Who's there ~
he then asked, his forefnger pressing
the trigger, "speak or Pll fire." The
figure paused, and then in low, quiet
voice came the words: dts mother
L heard you tossing in your sleep and
came to see if you were ILL.," The
young man sold his revolver the next
day for One-half what it cost him, and
says that he has retired from the arse
nal business for good.

A Worm that Eats up steel Rails.

The existence has just been discov-
cred of a detestable microbe which
feeds upon iron with as much gluttony
as the phylloxera upon the vine. Some
time ago the greatest CONSERVATION ex-
listed among the engineers employed on
the railway at Hagen, Germany, by the
accidents occurring at the same place,
proving that some terrible defect must
exist either in the material or the con-
struction of the rails. The German
government directed an inquiry to be
made and a commission of surveillance
to be formed for the purpose of main
tanning constant watch at the spot
where the accidents-one of them at
tended with loss of life-had occurred.
1t was not, however, until after six
months had elapsed that the surface of
the rails appeared to be corrOded, as if
by acid, to the extent of 100 yards.
The rail was taken up and broken, and
it was perceived that it was literally
followed out by thin gray worm, to
which the qualification of "Iavilivor-
Gus" was assigned, and by which name
1t is to be classed in natural history.
The worm is said to be two centime-
tres in length, and of the size of the
prong of a silver fork in circumference.
1t is of light gray color, and on the
head carries two little glands filled
with corrosive secretion which is
elected upon. the iron. This liquid
renders the iron soft and spongy, and
of the color of rust, and it is then
greedily devoured.
